We were driving back from lunch and my husband was asking me about scheduling. It sounded a lot like he was asking me for some great hack, because he noticed how much I was able to get done in a day.

I told him that when you consistently do what you love, you have a different relationship with time.

You become more efficient and effective with time, because you want to have more of it.

Then you start asking yourself questions like, “what activities give me the emotional experiences that I want?” And when you start to do that, your calendar can become an opportunity to be explored rather than something to be endured, minimized or avoided.

Try it for one day and see.
